Some potential matchups for 2013 would include, Alabama at Georgia, Arkansas at Florida, Auburn at Kentucky, LSU at Missouri, Ole Miss at Tennessee, Mississippi State at South Carolina and Texas A&M at Vanderbilt. Those, of course, are merely guesses at this point, based on openings and length of time between recent games. There will not be home-and-home series in consecutive years for rotating opponents as there were up through 2011. However, seeing a team once every six year isn’t mathematically feasible either. The more plausible scenario is that it will be either five or seven years between games. I’ll spare you the details, but it would likely be 2020 before any of the 2013 rotating opponents meet again, and 2025 before they return to the site of next year’s games.

Alabama in Athens next year, then, if that's right, we won't go back to Tuscaloosa until 2025.

I HATE superconferences. It makes no sense to share a conference with teams that you rarely play. Its a return to pre 2003 SEC scheduling except it will be much worse. And no, we won't be playing Bama and LSU in Atlanta in between, not under the current status quo.
